Wednesday's festivities at the 49ers' practice facility in Santa Clara made it blatantly obvious that Colin Kaepernick would be the starter against the Saints on Sunday, despite the 49ers' intentions.

Sports Illustrated's Jim Trotter reported Wednesday night that Jim Harbaugh has told Kaepernick that he will be the starter vs. the Saints. Even worse for the other end of the quarterback controversy -- Alex Smith -- Trotter is

Buster Posey's historic 2012 season earned him a box full of accolades, and with the Giants looking to spend money to lock up their respective free agents, this offseason may be the best time to lock up Posey as well.How much do the Giants pay Posey? Probably the farm and then some -- but the years will be the most significant part of one of the biggest contracts offered in the MLB.

Can you blame the media for wanting to know if the Oakland Athletics will be moving from Oakland to San Jose, or even anywhere for that matter?

MLB commissioner Bud Selig is, although he understands the urgent nature of the topic. On Thursday, Selig did not seem in the mood to mess around with the topic or even give a blanket answer, as has been his custom since the issue became national news.

Brandon Jacobs has not received a carry this season, and it may all be coming to a head.

Jacobs was reportedly unhappy about the situation earlier this season, after he was declared fully healthy yet did not play a single down for the 49ers. But he shook off the reports in favor of being ready for the team in the long run -- the playoffs.

Estimates that San Francisco city coffers would receive almost $54 million in one-time revenue and up to $19 million a year from a new waterfront arena that the Golden State Warriors want to build are "reasonable" projections, according to an analysis released Friday.

If the unhappy Giants players' reactions from after Melky Cabrera was suspended was not enough, and the fact the Giants left him off the postseason roster wasn't either, teams' high interest in Cabrera should be.

Melky Cabrera is looking more and more like he will not be with the San Francisco Giants next season.

Andrew Bogut will be sidelined for 7-10 days, according to Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Jackson, and thus begins the season we all expected but never wanted to see come to fruition.

Through five games this season, the Warriors have three wins, two losses and two players injured and out for significant time. That is 0.4 players injured per game -- not a good start to the season, by any means.

San Francisco Giants GM Brian Sabean has some decisions to make between now and Opening Day 2013.

With the accolades of a World Series victory also comes the burden of players with newly-acquired World Series rings that want money now. Angel Pagan fits into that category rather nicely this offseason.

However, Hunter Pence is another story as he heads into arbitration with the Giants. The arbitration year could score him nearly $13 million next season, after rather disappointing production since the move to San Francisco.

We all know catching prospect Andrew Susac is a good player -- or is expected to be in the near future -- but what we may have missed it that Susac is severely right wing and not afraid to be vocal about it, as was evident by a borderline Republican rant on Tuesday night.

The San Francisco Giants may be receiving a little added attention this offseason.

In a period of time that should see Angel Pagan get a monster deal, Marco Scutaro getting a one or two-year deal worth more now with an NLCS MVP in his pocket and Hunter Pence arbitration-eligible, Giants's management may also be facing some tough decisions.

In a strange way, the San Francisco Giants shocked the world
on Wednesday night.

They took
Game 1 of the World Series, and proved a lot of critics, analysts and experts
wrong in the process.

The
storyline centered on the based god Justin Verlander?

Non-existent.

However,
Pablo Sandoval was very much existent -- approaching Babe Ruth status with
three home runs, two of which were off probable Cy Young winner Verlander.

The Giants
played Wednesday night’s Game 1 exactly how they needed to. No one expected
them to win with Verlander on the mound and a week lineup to boot in a
pitcher’s ballpark. Yet, San Francisco got the job done 8-3, taking a 1-0
series lead.
